Watch: Pregnant woman forced to walk 2 km on muddy road to reach ambulance in Sangareddy
In Sangareddy’s Kangti mandal, a pregnant tribal woman, Nikitha Bhai, walked nearly 2 km on a muddy road to reach an ambulance after rains made her village inaccessible. She later delivered a healthy baby boy at Kangti hospital.
Sangareddy: A pregnant woman was forced to walk nearly 2 km on a muddy road to reach an ambulance as there was no proper road connectivity to a remote tribal thanda in Kangti mandal on Wednesday.
The road connecting Vachyu Nayakthanda from the Kangti–Pitlam road had become completely slushy following heavy rains that lashed the district over the past two months.
The woman, Nikitha Bhai, developed labour pains on Wednesday, prompting her family to call the 108 ambulance service. However, the ambulance could not reach the village due to the poor road condition, forcing Nikitha Bhai to walk about 1.5 km before she could board the vehicle.
She was taken to the area hospital at Kangti, where she delivered a baby boy. Both the mother and the infant are reported to be in good health.
Villagers said officials and public representatives had ignored repeated requests to lay a pucca road to end their long-pending problem.
